The agar gel immunodiffusion test revealed antibody to bovine (C-type) leucosis virus in 66 of 100 dairy herds (10.2% of 4394 cattle) and in 14% of 50 beef herds (1.2% of 2794 cattle). There was a high percentage of reactors in small dairy herds (less than 50 cattle). In 22 dairy herds (1354 cows and 96 bulls), the rate of infection in cows was 13.5% and in bulls 10.4%.
